Morpheus Preview Edition officaly released

Nighthawk! and Coldfreezer used our newssubmit to tell us that a new version of Morpheus has been released. This new client uses the Gnutella protocol.

The Morpheus Preview Edition can now be download from their website. The new version is based on the open source Gnutella client Gnucleus. This of course had been made necessary due to Sharman Networks, the makers of Kazaa updating their software to not allow Morpheus to connect to the fasttrack network.

This is on the the Gnucleus website:

I had a feeling this would happen, Morpheus was moving in the direction of gnutella and the only reasonable way of getting there quickly was by using established code. As long as they post their source code and credit us in the program I dont have a problem with this, give the GPL the props it deserves. I dont even know what to think, I wish they contacted me or any of the other gnutella developers or protocol maintainers before doing this.

Gnucleus is a honest, well writen client. Please dont let this action by StreamCast tarnish your impression of us. We will continue as usual working on the next version of Gnucleus. Thanks for your support.
